Setting down his
thoughts on
swordplay, on
winning, and on
spirituality,
legendary
swordsman
Miyamoto Musashi
intended this
modest work as a
guide for his
immediate
disciples and
future generations
of samurai. He had
little idea he was
penning a
masterpiece that
would be eagerly
devoured by
people in all walks
of life centuries
after his death.
Along with The Art

of War by Sun Tzu,
The Book of Five
Rings has long
been regarded as
an invaluable
treatise on the
strategy of
winning. Musashi's
timeless advice on
defeating an
adversary,
throwing an
opponent offguard, creating
confusion, and
other techniques
for overpowering
an assailant was
addressed to the
readers of earlier
times on the
battlefield and now
serves the modern
reader in the battle
of life. In this new
rendering by the
translator of
Hagakure and The
Unfettered Mind,
William Scott
Wilson adheres
rigorously to the
seventeenthcentury Japanese
text and clarifies
points of ambiguity
in earlier
translations. In
addition, he offers
an extensive
introduction and a
translation of

Musashi's rarely
published The Way
of Walking Alone.
